Quoted from CrazyLevi:I kind of agree too - the way Beatles does it is fine,
Remember when Beatles got hate even at the gold trim level. 4 flippers, 11 drops, opto and mech spinners, two magnets, bling armor and art blades.
Enjoy Stern revisiting these street level pins!
Quoted from Grantman:However, there are more places to play pinball on location now than at any time since the 90s (I don't know about Sweden but certainly true in the US).
Very true. Didn’t realize until pulling up Pin map recently just how many locations have popped up with newer and classic pins. Something for everyone.
Quoted from titanpenguin:People would never go insane on this forum over something like that.
0D22D5D4-0CF1-429A-B0AA-8777855D7E93.gifQuoted from iceman44:Do you like Beatles/sea witch?
I do. But not for the “Diamond price” when there will be 500 of them.
I do and agree. Please give us Beatles gold price! 
Quoted from Mr68:My distributor is sold out and has been since the beginning.
I like the idea. Doesn’t hurt to shop around if you are in for one anyway.
Quoted from TreyBo69:Also it's the AIQ disc
Had GNR flashbacks with the hat and spinning disc.
Quoted from iceman44:All the anticipation and basically got what we expected, no real surprises.
It’s a Beatles Gold without the LCD and MAYBE a slightly better layout.
Hat spinner = Record spinner.
The positive? They didn’t try and stiff people for $25k
Beatles is a better package overall with more drops.
Bond LE is a better package overall.
Suppose reels and opto spinners aren’t cheap.
Quoted from CrazyLevi:Folks. Accept it. Never again will you see a brand new, commercial pinball machine for $4-5k.
You are correct but when the smoke clears will we see a run on Diamond lady?
Quoted from Mr68:my cognitive reasoning kicked in even at the reduced price.
cognitive reasoning?
In pinball?!
Pfft.
Quoted from Roostking:Must be the quick video from CES that Stern had pulled.
Bond license in public seems to be one big headache for Stern to manage. Imagine we will get some interesting stories about it at some point.
Quoted from RGR:Was this much hate given to Supreme when it came out? (I Actually dont know)... What was the price of that game,
It was a nice mix of funny and hate.
From IPDB:
Quoted from BrianJ1337:The topper is a kick in the nuts and the Union Jack shooter?.. wow it’s like they knocked this out during a lunch break.
Iron Maiden shooter with new sticker.
Quoted from Pinball-Wiz:all I know is this- I have become disenfranchised with a hobby I have active
Hobby is more than NIB and Stern.
Playing, fixing, and people in community are great.
Consider a break or avoiding what you find toxic.
Quoted from Beechwood:just disappointed I can't afford them Elvira boobies anymore.
Well, not all is lost.
You still have those Halloween boobie scenes!
Quoted from ASAC_Schrader:Y’all got excited when i popped back in. Then forgot to keep your negative shit going.
Flame on
So is this thread up for sale now?
Enjoy your game.
Kidding aside, did Stern release a feature matrix for all the Bond models?
Seems that would clear up any confusion.
Quoted from romulusx:It’s too bad we won’t buy original
IP
We buy old ones (CCr) but wait a year+ for the game.
Quoted from Aurich:I don't know which is a bigger waste of time, pointless podcasts or Facebook
Pinball award shows a close third.
Quoted from ASAC_Schrader:excited for my Bond 60th anniversary game, should be here within 3-4 weeks I am guessing
Congrats!
Since you are new, please have a housewarming party and invite Pinside over.
$100 a play?
Quoted from iceman44:We pinball people are quibbling over the $20k cost of this Bond 60th
There’s the real world and the pinball world. Being critical of what we do in the pinball world disconnected from reality
99.9999% of the population would say we are all idiots for paying anything for a pinball machine.
Somehow we have now justified that $13 LEs are mainstream “worth it”
$10k gets you a middle of the road version.
Factor in a game room of 5,10, 20, 30 of them and it’s really kind of insane!
So one game for $18k? The whole thing is F ing crazy ain’t it?
Not long ago a good amount of ridicule and scorn came to most games priced at 10k.
Now I guess it’s called a ..”value”.
Quoted from BallyKISS1978:Oh well, will go back to Scooby thread till number #32 arrives.
